It is also grown in many other parts of Portugal, notably Tejo and Lisboa. Arinto is respected for its high acidity and can yield wines which gain interest and, sometimes, a citrus quality with age. As an ingredient in vinho verde it is known as Pedernã. Total plantings had fallen to 3,175 ha/7,846 acres by 2010.
Arinto do Dão is a syonym for malvasia Fina in dão.
